1-70 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim quoted on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ibn Abi Umayr, on the authority of Al-Sari ibn Khalid that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, “
When God wishes a servant well, He will expedite his punishment in this world. However, when God wishes someone bad, He will procrastinate punishing him for the sins he commits until the Resurrection Day.”
1-70 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن السري بن خالد، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
إذا أراد الله بعبد خيرا عجل عقوبته في الدنيا، وإذا أراد الله بعبد سوءا أمسك عليه ذنوبه حتى يوافي بها يوم القيامة
